* A key part of gameplay in ''VideoGame/BuckshotRoulette''. Before each load, you are shown how many live and blank rounds are in the gun; keeping count as shells are fired or ejected is crucial to ensuring that the live rounds go into the Dealer's face and not yours, paired with a healthy dose of probability calculations and using items to swing the odds in your favor.

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'' there's an encounter between Snake and Ocelot shortly after Ocelot has switched from using an automatic that holds eight shots to a six shot revolver. Since Ocelot hasn't acclimated himself to having fewer shots, he doesn't realize that he's out of bullets. Snake nonchalantly stands out in the open and dares Ocelot to shoot him, and Ocelot is caught completely by surprise when he pulls the trigger and gets nothing but a ''click''.

* ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'': During the massive gunfight on the Hyperion Station, the '''Badass Accountant''' ([[BossSubtitles Definitely a Virgin]]) realizes that Reese is vulnerable because of this. "He's out of bullets! I've been counting." Indeed, Reese ran out of ammo a moment earlier and realized he was out of reloads. The really impressive part, though, is that they both realized this at the same time despite the whole thing being ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome a completely imaginary gunfight using finger guns and everybody making the sound effects with their mouths]]''.

* Subverted in the ''WebVideo/{{Oxventure}}'' ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'' campaign. Luke's character, Delacy, attempts to track the bad guy's ammo expenditure in "Dead Man's Worth" and concludes he only has one bullet left, but because Delacy, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass while a deadly shot, is also young and very inexperienced]], his assumptions underpinning that count are bad ''and'' he forgets how many shots are in a revolver in the process. Andy, the Marshal, cracks up as soon as he realises Luke has only counted to five.

* This trope is actually part of ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'''s gameplay from the first game to ''Code: Veronica''. If you empty your magazine and try to shoot, your character will stop and take a few seconds to reload a fresh magazine, which is a very bad thing because these seconds can be the difference between life and death during a gunfight. However, the pause menu freezes time, so if you pause the game, combine your bullets with your gun and unpause the game, you will effectively reload your gun instantly. Skilled players are therefore expected to count the shots in their magazine during a battle and manually reload when their magazine is close to empty.

* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham'' where Deadshot faces down an armed Joker with the calm reassurance that his gun is out of bullets.

* The first of the ''Film/DirtyHarry'' novels "Duel for Cannons", has Callahan up against a [[EvilCounterpart hitman who also uses a .44 Magnum]]. This time the scene in the first film is reversed with Harry being the one not sure if six rounds have been fired. When the hitman is holding him at gunpoint, Callahan kneels down to see if he can see light through the barrel when the killer does a DramaticGunCock...then smiles. The killer panics, thinking that he's run out of bullets too, but Callahan was just bluffing. It's a great scene [[FridgeLogic until you realise]] that a revolver doesn't eject its cartridges, so the barrel would have been blocked anyway.
* In one of Sue Grafton's ''Literature/KinseyMillhone'' books, ''I Is for Innocent'', Kinsey and her adversary have a exchange of words about the number of bullets they each have fired and how many rounds their guns hold.

* During their ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'', Franchise/RoboCop does this for the Franchise/{{Terminator}}'s shotgun, allowing him to lure the latter close to place a grenade. A more plausible example due to [=RoboCop=]'s built-in calculating capabilities.
* ''WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded: Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'': When Deadpool counts every shot, a dying enemy asks why he bothers counting when he could just pick up one of the many gun dropped by the enemies. Deadpool claims it makes him look like "One bad mother..." then gets hit by ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield, who punches out the enemies and scolds Deadpool for bad language.
* In ''WebAnimation/{{Lackadaisy}},'' Marigold Gang's ConsummateProfessional Mordecai verbally whispers a count of the latter three shots of Lackadaisy's ReluctantWarrior Freckle's six-round [[LittleUselessGun pocket-pistol]], (implying a mental count beforehand) ''and'' [[ReconstructedTrope waits]] for the sound of Freckle dry firing before grazing him with [[ImprobableAimingSkills a ricochet]] while their having a [[DarkenedBuildingShootout shootout]] in a maze of steel beams at a {{Construction Zone| Calamity}}. He very well could've killed him if not for Freckle's cousin Rocky's timely rescue via ConstructionVehicleRampage.
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In the Watts vs. Ironwood fight in volume 7, Watts counts each bullet he fires out loud. When the two come face to face and Watts has his gun to Ironwood's head, Ironwood points out that Watts isn't the only one who can count, revealing that he knows the gun to his head is a bluff: Watts is out of bullets. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for Ironwood, Watts was hoping Ironwood would do exactly that. Watts being out of bullets causes him to lower his guard, allowing Watts to gain the upper hand.]]
